MR. J. CORBET— 1805. 67 



ran forward and passed very near to Lord Willoughby's 

 gorse ; over Chadshiint Heath, through the copses near to 

 that place, and then over the grass fields to within one mile 

 of Kineton ; when the hounds were stopped, it being then 

 so dark it was not possible to ride after them. 1 



Friday, January 18. — Threw off at Long Meadow 

 Wood, and found a fox ; after hunting him an hour and a 

 half he was ran to ground at Baginton. Found again in a 

 cover near Tile Hill, and had a very good run for two hours 

 and 20 minutes, when we killed him on the other side of 

 Cawley Wood, pointing for Sir R. Newdigate's. 



Jan. 21 . — Threw off" at High Wood, near Cpmbe, where 

 we found a fox, and had a very good rim for one hour and a 

 half, when we killed him near Lutterworth. 2 



Wednesday, February 13. — Hunted and found a brace 

 of foxes at Alveston Pastures ; one of them went off quick 

 for Walton, and we constantly changed foxes ; we killed 

 one after running rings for full four hours. A very hard 

 day for the hounds. 



Feb. 1.5. — Immediately the hounds were put into cover 

 at Itchington, we found a fox that broke away very quick 

 for Lighthorne village, near to Chadshunt, and back close 

 to Itchington ; he then went forward to Ufton Wood, where 



1 The hounds ran the fox six hours, all but 20 minutes ; the 

 distance was very great. The horses stopped in all parts of the 

 country, and only six were up at the end of the run. 



In consequence of the severe frost, the hounds did not hunt again 

 until the 7th of January, when they commenced in Shropshire. 



2 The frost and snow prevented hunting for many days.
